the obama administration, for example, argues that a ship today is more capable than a ship 20 years ago. well, generally that's true. but a ship can still only be at one place at one time, and we need enough of them to protect our interests and fulfill their missions all around the world. we do not have enough of them today. nor do we have enough airplanes, nor do we have enough soldiers, et cetera. building a strong military requires money. last fall's budget agreement does not provide enough money for defense. but, i agreed with those who believed that it was better to accept less than is required in order to be assured that it would be there. after the budget brinksmanship of the obama years, budget stability, even if it's just two years, counts for a lot. so i'm disturbed at rumors that the administration may not keep to the agreement in the budget submission that it will send to congress in a few weeks. that agreement was that for fiscal year '17, $573 billion would be available to meet base defense requirements. and that the oco account, the overseas contingency account, would
